“Tales of Beedle the Bard” Optioned

Warner Brothers has optioned the movie rights to the Harry Potter related book, “The Tales of Beedle the Bard” according to Cinema Blend. The book is a collection of five short fables set in the Harry Potter world of wizards and muggles by author J.K. Rowling.

The titular Beedle the Bard wrote five tales, each accompanied with commentary from Albus Dumbledore, Hogwarts’ now-late headmaster who met his end in the penultimate “Potter” novel, “The Half-Blood Prince.”

The five stories are not connected in any way, which could make it interesting to see how Warner Brothers will turn them into a film. Warner Brothers is currently working on a way to make the fables into a movie.
